Hello everyone. Today I would like to share a frame that I created using paper from Kaisercraft's Base Coat Collection. I have also used a Kaisercraft frame as well. Again lots of waiting for things to dry but the decorating is the fun part!

I coated the back and edges of the front with gesso, then painted it using white paint. I traced around the frame onto the paper and glued it into position.

I used my Spellbinders spiral blossom one to create the centre flower. I used some punches and left over paper to create the rose buds. This was a great way to use up some left over cardstock from previous projects.

I used some crackle paint to create the heart. I also softened this up by using a pearl flourish and cheese cloth.

The quote is a rubon from an older Kaisercraft range. Again, the scraps came out to complete the additional butterflies.

Hello everyone. I am back today to share two projects that I have created using the Holly Bright Collection from Kaisercraft. After looking through the paper pad, I selected papers that look traditional, as I like vintage styled Christmas cards.

The central element has many layers. I punched along the edge of 12" cream cardstock with a border punch and cut it so that it measures 1". I used my Scor-Pal to create the creases needed to make my rosette. I inked it to age it, along with the paper doily. I cut Spellbinders Venetian Motifs twice, once onto kraft cardstock and again onto cream cardstock. I used gold embossing powder to colour the cardstock before gluing it to the kraft card. I also used one of the clear stamps from the collection and again used the same gold embossing powder to colour it.

I knew I wanted some bling on my card and it comes in the form of my beads. I reinforced the Venetian Motif for this purpose. I have collected beads etc for a little while and love adding them to projects.
